Hey Unregistered! How fast can you game? The Marathon II is up and running in Video Game's - compete against your friends to see how quickly you can complete sixty intense in-game challenges. See you there!

lucky, how did you get them? i wish mine worked, i have literally tried everything from switching from mac to windows. Using rudolf's patch and downloading the rom from a different website. Still crashes after the 4th gym.

Hi. I'm new here and I've been having problems with my soul silver rom. I have rudolf's patch and I'm using the anti-freeze action replay codes and the game works fine other than an occasional sprite glitch which leads to a black screen, which is no big deal because I just load from my last save. But my main problem is when I defeat the elite four and it auto saves, it either freezes on the credits or it black screens when the credits are over. Any help?

I found a fix for no$gba that works for me and it hasn't freezed what so ever. Go to youtube and type in "How to fix your NO$GBA Emulator For Heart Gold and Soul Silver Roms American Version" and click the second link.

I have the same issues with same emulator, Desmume 0.9.8... i have beaten the Elite Four but after the credits the screen go black and i can't do anything...
I can also tell that, when i load the rom, the screen is completely white and the intro will not start over... i have to load a saved game (not in-game save, obviusly).

Can you help us? I have some gyms to obliterate and a lone trainer to smash in a cave. Thx all!

I decided to give SoulSilver one more shot after updating my copy of DeSmuME and adding in the AR codes to unlock the game. At first everything went well, with no freezes or blackouts; I even escaped back to the street after completing Sprout Tower (always a problem before). Unfoftunately, a new glitch turned up; when I emerged from the tower, half of Violet City had been replaced by uncrossable blackness. The Poké Mart had vanished, the first Gym was hanging on the edge of nowhere, and at least one NPC was hovering in unreachable space. I've attached a screenshot of the glitch, as usual.

Has anyone else had similar problems witth DeSmuME 0.9.9 and the HGSS games? Not being able to challenge the first Gym is very frustrating!

So I've tried the anti-piracy patch, I'm using desmume, and I've tried every cheat that claims to fix the freeze problem (but really just gets past the black screen that isn't a problem). The game still freezes every time I go to save regularly. I would use save states, but I can't get past the elite four and finish the game then. Anyone know how to fix the save crash problem?

Running HeartGold on DeSmuME. Got both the ROM and Emulator from my usual site, Coolroms, which has never failed me before.
However, I notice Gold is walking very, very slowly.
The game itself seems to be perfectly fine, just a bit laggy, and Gold walks like he just got his leg broken and watched his puppy die.
He runs like a slow-motion action hero.

I read most of the post in this thread and even tried to search but still couldn't find a solution to my problem. I'm playin heartgold but it freezes randomly. Actually the emulator runs, I see background images proccessing but I can't control after it freezes. Because of that I back up every 10 min., but it bugs me so much. The country that I live in doesn't sell the game.

Is there any instructions to get rid of this freezing. I'm at elite four and I did play with a huge struggle until now. I am usin no gba 2.6

After applying the AP patch for Heart Gold I didn't really run into any major problems (Just the occasional sprite missing) And whenever I encountered the problem of the black screen where music was still playing but you are not able to see anything, I came up with a solution, well it works for me anyway. I simply saved the game (not a saved state) and stop playing for a few hours, I'd come back and everything was back to normal for about 2 hours of gameplay until it happened again, but I'd just repeat the solution.

Yesterday I played HeartGold ( randomized ) ( nuzlocke challenge ) on my android ( Huawei ascend y200 / only 800 mhz processor ) ( DraStiC r2.1.6.2 emulator ) and speed was normally 100% - 107% , but when I went to pokemart in Violet city to buy some potions the game freezes for about 3-4 minutes, after freeze, I can continue my journey, (today - 1 freeze again ) , 1 freeze per day :D
